Abstract
A video signal processing apparatus includes an equalizer for delaying an input color signal by an adjustable phase retardation. A low pass filter is operative for delaying the input color signal by an adjustable phase retardation. A phase detector is operative for detecting a difference between a phase of an output signal of the equalizer and a phase of an output signal of the low pass filter, and outputting a signal representative of the detected phase difference. The phase retardation provided by the equalizer and the phase retardation provided by the low pass filter are adjusted in response to the output signal of the phase detector to maintain the difference between the phase of the output signal of the equalizer and the phase of the output signal of the low pass filter at a predetermined value, for example, 90 degrees.
